Coffee Skills Program

The SCA Coffee Skills Program is a modular, skills-based training program designed to prepare learners to gain more success in their career while contributing to the progress and evolution of the specialty coffee industry. Join the approximately 50,000 learners who engage with SCA Certificate Programs each year.

 

Courses

The Coffee Skills Program consists of five different modules and one introductory course. The five specialist modules are Barista Skills, Brewing, Green Coffee, Roasting and Sensory Skills. These are offered at three different course levels. Introduction To Coffee is a popular, standalone course that familiarizes participants with specialty coffee and the broad topics that can be explored within the specialist modules. 

In addition to the certificate earned by successfully completing a course, learners can also achieve the SCA Coffee Skills Diploma. SCA has introduced a new set of diplomas that give you in-depth knowledge and practical experience you can immediately apply in an industry setting. Each diploma requires a combination of advanced level learning and foundational coursework. Learn More about the SCA Skills Diploma here.
